DID YOU KNOW?


  a.. The NCLB is the only test that is specifically designed for teachers 
and aids who work with blind children and adults. All other national 
certifications are intended for transcribers who must be expert in both the 
braille code and formatting.
  a.. Representatives from the American Council of the Blind, the American 
Foundation for the Blind, the Association for Education and Rehabilitation 
of the Blind and Visually Impaired, the Blinded Veterans Association, the 
Canadian Council of the Blind, the Canadian National Institute for the 
Blind, the National Federation of the Blind, and The National Library 
Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped all came together to find a 
way that teachers working with the blind can unequivocally demonstrate their 
knowledge of braille and the NCLB was the result.
  a.. The NCLB test was originally maintained and administered by The 
National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Handicapped before the 
national Blindness Professional Certification Board (NBPCB) assumed 
responsibility for it.
  a.. The additional NCLB certification will ensure employers, school 
administrators, colleagues, consumers, families, and other professionals 
that you possess proficient braille knowledge and skills to meet your 
professional responsibilities.
  a.. You can go to www.nbpcb.org/nclb for information on the material 
covered by the NCLB, a sample test, study materials, description of common 
errors, accommodations, information on the reference materials you can use 
on the test, costs including special rates for students, and much more!

  b.. If you have questions, need further information, or want to schedule a 
test in your area,contact us at braille at nbpcb.org.
